I've bought a lot of music on amazon a long time ago and
only maybe 2 things at warpmart. Of course you can save
shipping on multiple items that don't have to be the same
label (or even music related) at amazon. Still, ebay is the
cheapest place for ANYTHING due to competition among
sellers.

neither, although if i could afford to "purchase" music, i
suppose i would go amazon cuz i've already done a lot
of researching for old rare out of print hard to find stuff
and they have it all.

Warpmart is good for exclusives and I tend to buy around 80%
of my IDM related purchases there.

I do occassionally buy records from Amazon, but mainly books
and videogames.

Almost all the music I wanted to buy wasn't available in
regular music stores unless it was special ordered (I did
special order 2 cds from some normal music store once and I
think the employees listened to it since they commented on
its weirdness. I think it was feed me weird things.) Amazon
had those handy song excerpts too, even on fairly obscure
items. The thing that amazon rocks in is reviews and the "if
you're interested in this, you might also like" etc
suggestions based on what people have bought in addition to
that item. But with music reviews don't help much and are
are actually usually misleading (music is largely
subjective). But for books and stuff, the reviews are a
goldmine, often as interesting as the book itself.

i used to order from both, amazon and warpmart a lot, but
lately i do it very rarely..usually only when it's warp
material, and i haven't used amazon in surely 6 months. i
prefer boomkat and ab-cd..those two are my favourite!
especially ab-cd!

amazon is good for 2nd hand or cheap from a factory. i
bought quite a few cds from there recently, the most
expensive costing £5.

Warpmart everytime.

amazon is where i get most of my cds... either amazon.fr,
amazon.com, or caiman_amerique (through amazon.fr - caiman
is the cheapest by far (often half price or even less
compared to the prices everywhere else) and they work pretty
well).

warpmart can get you some freebies, but they're not cheaper
and you have to deal with the british post (which is far too
unreliable)... i think i've made three orders with them so
far, for Ultravisitor, Spokes and i don't remember which
other one (along with Seefeel by Succour). each time it was
because it included a special bonus CD or something like
that.

also, you can get almost everything with amazon, whereas
warpmart is "specialized" - maybe less of 5% of what i buy
lately would be on warpmart i guess...

Amazon is book heaven. The only cd i ever bought there was
something vaguely obscure: harmony korine's: SSAB SONGS.

Currently I have cujo coming from there!

warpmart and boomkat for vinyl.

Are there negotiations taking place to advertise Amazon on
Xltronic and you're testing the waters?

Is this a sponsored link Phob?

If so then I'm quite happy if they all look like that
really.

Of course I do in fact mean the "search eBay for Aphex Twin"
link.

yes, giginger, i have just implemented the eBay link thingy.
if you use the links to buy stuff from ebay, it'll gain
xltronic. but as always, ignore the layout, placement and
other attributes as this will CHANGE with the new site. i
have to roll out certain features on the site for
beta-testing......

i don't agree with this item title...

"Kraftwerk Tour De France CD industrial goth aphex twin"

kraftwerk, industrial? goth? aphex twin?

I spend too much time scanning the discog because I thought
it was only on that 1 release but it's now on all of them
:D

If I bookmark those actual links as my eBay links will that
benefit xltronic? I go to eBay quite a bit and bid a lot
too. If it will help then I'll do it :)

I don't agree with most of the ways people list stuff on
eBay.

yes, i guess so! according to the affiliate program xltronic
will receieve $0.1 USD for each bid, if you enter the site
using those links.

i'm currently exploring the benefits and possibilities, so i
will keep you updated how this is working, gotta enhance it
a bit further.

future eBay links will be positioned seamlessly into the
layout.

I buy a lot of secondhand records through Amazon. you buy
stuff from independent sellers who sell through Amazon but
all payments go through Amazon - so if anything goes wrong
you have all the same guarantees if you bought from Amazon
itself.

you can find some stuff dirtcheap there.

Amazon has patented one click buying technology. That means
that any website that offers a one-click buying method pays
royalties to Amazon.
